His origin in this black void was unknown. With his bronze helm and his noble stature, the ram stood unlike the others. The other beings would stalk about in the darkness, content to stare at him in fearful wonder, and spiteful jealously. And with his white eyes, burning like stars against the black of the horizon, he would stare back in silence. He would watch them and he would judge them, for he knew that they were too feeble to approach him. He understood their confinement to the shadowy prison they had sealed themselves into, but he did not share it. His mighty hooves clomped against the road of ice in a hollow march, for this place held no end and no beginning. Still, he walked on, wondering if one day, another might walk the road as he did. Perhaps he could be the example…

For here, he was the good among darker things.

I don’t think I’ve ever spent so long on a piece and enjoyed it so much as I did when I worked on this one. Even when I first sketched it out, I knew it would be one of my favorites.

What is it exactly? To tell the truth I’m not sure. It’s a beast with features like a ram or a yak almost, and of course, but then some other creative edges.

The text above was something I added in at the last minute, believe it or not. I think I had another story for this a few weeks ago when I drew it, but I seem to have forgotten…oh well.

Took me about 6 hours all total, beginning at sketching and ending with typing “done” in the title of the piece when I finished it in Paintshop pro. It’s messy, but then I did that on purpose. I’ve always loved the way artwork looks when it’s more “free” if you know what I mean.

Anyway, all comments are welcome. If you have any questions, fire away, I’m sure there was something important I failed to mention haha.

This piece was done entirely by me, *Kadarami
